Description
An ad hoc committee will plan and conduct a public workshop featuring presentations and discussion of applying a health lens to decisions made in the private sector. Applying a health lens refers to giving consideration for potential health effects in decisions made in many relevant domains, such as education, transportation, and housing. This workshop will build on a 2013 workshop on Applying a Health Lens to Decision Making in Non-Health Sectors, but with a greater focus on policy, practices, and investments in the private sector and in public-private collaboration. The committee will identify specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, select and invite speakers and other participants, and moderate the discussions. A summary of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
